When I stared using an external USB drive as my primary work drive, I felt like I had been liberated because I could work ANYWHERE.

I was pretty skeptical about Dropbox. I installed it and tinkered a little.

Without using it, it slowly dawned on me that the beauty to Dropbox is that I'm working in a local directory -- not an external drive or a network drive. It's a LOCAL directory that gets synced to the Dropbox server in the background.

Surely, since I work on Windows and Macs and Linux there's no way it'll handle all that gracefully.

You know what? It handles the differences pretty seamlessly! In fact, I was making more of a mess with Unison and my external drive while Dropbox was keeping everything sync-ed properly.

Today: no more external drive. I'm proud to support Dropbox with a paid subscription!

Thanks in advance!

Version 1.0.10 was released last month with support for selective sync and support for syncing resource forks and extended attributes. The download is 20% smaller, runs faster and memory usage has been reduced by up to 50%. What's not to like? ;-)

Great little app. In case anyone else needs 2GB+250MB here's my referral:

@bonj : thanks for the tip about Cloud :)

Extremely useful. I use this to sync important files between all my computers (both OSX and Windows) and it's very fast. Whenever I''m on another computer without Dropbox installed, I can still access the files on the web. I used to use this to host images temporarily too, but now I use CloudApp for that.

Nice app. Sync's ridiculously large folders (10gb, 100,000 files), ridiculously fast. Stuff that would take days to sync with sugarsync, is uploading by dropbox in half hour.

Only major complaint, it doesnt support Mac OSX resource forking. This severely limits what I can sync. On OSX, even file bookmarks (drag a url) use resource forking, so syncing them in Dropbox breaks.

This really needs to get fixed soon. But once it does, I'd be inclined to recommend Dropbox to OSX users.

Nice app to use with a Truecrypt container.
